I know, I just don't like that lol. I dont like stepping out of the vehicle while everything is on...the whole thing is very unsettling to me after having 30 years of driving 'dumb' cars with regular ignition systems that make you turn the whole thing OFF before you step out. So last night I pulled up the manual and started reading it cover to cover and I found out that you can 'semi OFF" the stuff after the engine is put into drive ready mode by holding down the OFF button for like a second. So I did that today and my OCD self was happier today than I have been since we got the thing. I am still looking back every time after I wander off a few feet to make sure I hear the locking beep from the proximity key feature.
